Una Dolce Vita | Our Story

A sweet life in downtown Bridgeport

A sweet life in downtown Bridgeport

Una dolce vita means "a sweet life" — and that's exactly what we brought to 940 Broad Street in August 2022. Pizza and gelato, two of Italy's greatest pleasures, under one roof in downtown Bridgeport.

How it started

CT Post called it "a slice of NYC" arriving in Connecticut. We came to Bridgeport with a simple belief: this city deserved seriously good pizza and real Italian gelato.

From flatbreads loaded with prosciutto and shaved parmesan to specialty pies with ricotta and balsamic, every slice is made to be memorable. We keep over a dozen varieties in the case daily — Sicilian, Grandma, and everything in between.
Then comes the gelato

Gelato isn't an afterthought here — it's half the identity of this place. Creamy, scooped fresh daily, and the sweet punctuation at the end of every visit.

A room worth staying in

Italian cityscape murals, a red Vespa, an espresso bar, a gelato counter, and beer and wine — designed to feel like a little escape from the everyday.
